The Tronquoy-Lalande blend utilises four grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Each ingredient contributes to the overall flavour profile, providing an elegant balance of roundness, density, aromas, and persistence.
The vineyard is meticulously tended using traditional farming methods. The “four ways” plowing technique is employed, consisting of earthing-up and earthing-down multiple times. This process loosens and aerates the soil, allowing rainwater to better seep through. Additionally, it naturally controls weed growth and promotes microbial activity in the soil that sits above a layer of gravel and clay.
Château Tronquoy-Lalande’s terroir, generally known as one of the finest, stretches seamlessly over 30 hectares on a historic outcrops in the heart of the famous Saint-Estèphe appellation.
Packaged in handsome, flat, six-bottle wooden boxes (only available for collection or local delivery).
Tasting Note: Under the same ownership as the illustrious Château Montrose, this shares the same density of cassis and damson fruit over a bed of firm but rounded tannins. Young, but intensely lush and opulent, with gentle classic cedarwood notes that add complexity and spice. Enjoy now or at various moments over the next 5 to 10 years.
Origin: Bordeaux, France
